Wherefore art Thou for real Not, Untrustful Zeno ?

I slice the future time in half

Si o parte-o ascund in fundul unui raft...

I hope I'll manage anyway somehow

Cu ce-am pastrat din minunatul meu cadou...

I further halve what I have left,

Insure myself in case of theft...

Si in sinea mea tot tin sa sper

Sa nu raman vreodat' lefter...

And so, I kept on chopping: chop, chop, chop...
And then the night came, had to stop...

After a well intended series of halvings

I decided 'twas time to enjoy my savings...

Oh well, to make this story really short...
The old wine bottle to uncork...
I tried one day...

Alas! The good old wine is all but gone!

Ramas-am iar far' nici un ban...
